设计拓展 | “会说话”的红色消防站
今天为大家分享交流的是位于比利时，以“parlancture parlante”建筑形式建造，拥有强烈辨识度外观的消防站——Happel Cornelisse Verhoeven builds bright red fire station in Antwerp.
Dutch studio Happel Cornelisse Verhoeven has used red glazed bricks to make a new Antwerp fire station stand out.
位于比利时安特卫普的消防局由Happel Cornelisse Verhoeven工作室设计建造，建筑材料选用红色琉璃砖，这使其能够脱颖而出。
Fire Station Wilrijk is located on a main road, in a neighbourhood to the south of the Belgian city.
该消防站位于比利时南部某居住区内一条主干道的一侧。
Happel Cornelisse Verhoeven wanted to make a statement, to help the building quickly develop its own identity, so chose to clad the entire exterior in bright red bricks.
Happel Cornelisse Verhoeven工作室想通过这座建筑向居民们宣示其存在，这可以帮助其快速地建立在社区中的身份，因此选用了明亮的红砖覆盖整个建筑的外表皮。
The colour of these bricks is emphasised by the use of vertical piers and bright white grout.
建筑外立面的垂直壁柱和亮白色的水泥沙浆衬托强调了砖本有的红色。
According to Happel Cornelisse Verhoeven, the aim was to make an "architecture parlante" – a type of building where the architectural form explains the structure's function.
Happel Cornelisse Verhoeven工作室表示，其目的是设计一个“会说话的建筑”——这是一种建筑类型，建筑形式可诠释其建筑架构中蕴含的功能。
"The monochrome character provides a recognisable identity in the neighbourhood, an architecture parlante in which form and appearance irrevocably remind us of the function of the building and the urgency of its users," said the Rotterdam-based studio.
总部位于鹿特丹的Happel Cornelisse Verhoeven工作室说：“该建筑单一的外立面颜色使其在社区中具有更易识别的身份属性，它是会说话的建筑，其建筑形式和外观可以让我们直接联想到它的功能以及使用者（消防员[译者注]）身在其中的紧迫感。
The fire station is a three-storey building, with a double-height station garage on one side and additional rooms wrapping up and over.
消防站是一座三层的建筑，其一侧布置有两层通高的车库，其他房间则布置在车库的周围。
Its volume is made asymmetric by a tower in one corner, with bold white signage spelling out the word Brandweer – meaning fire brigade.
凸出的塔楼体量打破了建筑物的对称性，其表面用大胆的白色标牌拼出了Brandweer（意为消防队[译者注]）一词。
